My 'One Word' for 2013

New Years Resolutions lead to broken promises and dissapointment before the year gets off to an end.  How many people really keep their New Year's Resolution?  Not many!
 This year I'm losing the resolutions and choosing one word to live by and to be intentional about. 
A byword is a word or expression summarizing a thing's characteristics or a person's principles. 
So, this year as my byword, for the year of 2013, I've chosen the word 'grace'. 
 
Grace of God
Such a simple word but yet so profound and can pierce the heart and soul of a person. 
 
I need to look beyond the length of my own arm and see the need to extend grace to others even when I don't understand the complete picture.  
I need to extend grace to my dear husband when I become impatient with him. 
And mostly I need to accept the grace that God has so freely given me and learn to forgive myself.
